To all whom it may con/cera:

Be it known that l, Armour on Crommnr, a citizen of Jugoslavia, residingat laos tnireles, in the county ot 'Los Angeles and tate ot Calitornia,llave invented a new and usetul Waterproofing Composition and Process otMakin Same, ol Vvvliicli the lollowing is a s ec` cation.

lliis invention relates to matter used lor waterproong other articlesand to processes alor making suoli matter.

@ne ot tlie objects ont this invention is to provide a paste orcomposition ot substances, ready ror use, only to be diluted by water upto eventually one hundred parts ott water to one part of tliis matter,tlie matter to be lreptin a suitable container airtight so as tomaintain its laculty.

inotlierJ object is to provide sucio matter to be used for waterproongconcrete walls, cement tloors, concrete matter in general, briclr walls,stucco, masonry, and any other similar article that is in a similarmanner subject to decay.,

Another object is to provide a waterproolt tliat can be used as acoating;

@ther objects will appear trom tbe tollow ing description and appendedclaims.

Masonry., wood9 steel and other similar articles must be protected bysuitable coating to lreep tliem 'n their original state and soundness.is iiowever not always sutticient to protect properly.

it is especially desired to llave a substance or composition otsubstances to 'form a parm ticularly bard surface when applied.

When this matter is applied to any par 'ticular article., it tends tolreep suoli article lunimpaired by reason or its special liardness andby its waterproolingaction.

The matter is preterably compounded in paste form, and so lreptuntil itis to be used., when it is diluted by water up to one lmndred parts ol'water to one part ot this matter.. The different ingredients may bevaried to' some extent without departing :trom tlie principle of thisinvention, but the best results are obtained by compounding" in thefollowing manner the following ingredients: Heat-ing and liquetyingsoap, and adding and mixing to such liqueiied matter, calcium chlorid,potassium alum and hydrated lime in powdered form. rthis mixture is keptin its damp state so as to readily talre and mirc Specification otLetters Eatent.

with water, the mixture being naturally too rich to be used in sucli astate, and as long as the mixture is in a damp state it taires waterreadily. l

'llie proportions ot the dierent ingredients may naturally also bevaried without materially changing the ellects ot tbe matter.. The bestresults are, however, obtained by using 2% soap, tel-25 ot potassiumalum, and l0% cit hydrated lime in powdered term..

lliileflieating and liquetying tbe soap9 water may be added to the oliabout 30%.

llie mining oli tbe several ingredients with tbe liquelied soap ispreferably accomplished alter tlie soap is cooled olii, and tlie volumeot the liqueed soap is then naturally talren as tbe base in computingtlie amount o'l tbe other ingredients to go with' the mass ot liqueliedsoap,

as'will easily be understood.

When ready to use tlie matterlor water proong, a suitable amount oittlie mirrtunl is diluted with water up 'to eventually one to a bundredpartis ot water, and tliis tliin matter is used as a coating on tbearticles to be treated *for waterproofing..

For mailing ccncretc'-'"articles waterproof., tlie matter may be addedto tbe concrete mixture before the concrete is termed into any article,or applied as a coating alter suoli concrete articles llave beennislied, witliout material diderence to. the concrete or to tilewaterproonge v ln diluting tlfie paste-lilre matter witli water it isnaturally also immaterial to what extent tbe matter is diluted,depending'. entirely on tlie desired strength. The matter asprofiterablyr compounded is in proper pro portion as 'lar as tliedifferent ingredients are concerned and adding water weakens tlie matter'to suoli extent. n

Having tlous described my iuroentionB ll claim:

l. ln tlie manufacture ot waterproof man terial, tlie process otdissolving and heating castile soap in water and then adding calciumchlorid, potassium alum and hydrated lime in powdered torni to aVpaste-like mass to be diluted with water at the time wlien it is to beused tor coating.

2. lin tliey manufacture of waterproot material, the process ofdissolving and beating Castile soap in water and then after coolin" theliquefied Vsoap adding calcium cblori a till ot calcium clilorid, 44% otcastile ill lili

potassium alum and hydrated lime in powdered :form to bring the whole toa pastelike mass to be kept in this damp state tor the time when it isto be used.

3. ln the manufacture of waterproof ma, terial, the process ofdissolving and heating castile soap in three times its own amount ofwater, letting this liquefied soap cool,

then adding calcium chlorid, potassium alum and hydrated lime inpowdered form to bring the whole to a paste-like mass tobe kept in thisdamp state for a time when it is to be used.. Y

4. lln the manufacture of waterproof material, the process of dissolvingand heating castile soap in three times its own amount of water, lettingthis liquefied soap eool, and then adding 2% ot calcium ehlorid, 44% ofpotassium alum and 10% of hydrated lime in powdered form, taking theliqueed soap at the rate of 44%.

5. lin a waterproof material, 2% of calcium chlorid, 44% of liquefiedCastile soap9 44% of potassium alum, and 10% of hydrated lime inpowdered term. t

6. ln a waterproof material, 2% or'.Z calcium ehlorid, 44% of liquetiedsoap, 44% of potassium alum7 10% of hydrated lime in powdered form, andup to hundred times the amount of the other ingredients of water added'for diluting the material for eeating.
